The applicant, a condominium unit owner, requested various records from the respondent condominium corporation, including details of a special assessment refund, engineering reports, service requests, and board minutes.
The respondent delayed providing the records, citing bad faith and privacy concerns, and demanded an arbitrary $500 fee.
The Condominium Authority Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to the records, subject to redactions of other owners' identifying information.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to provide the records, permitted the respondent to charge reasonable preparation costs ($24/hour and $0.20/page), and ordered the respondent to pay the applicant $612 in costs and a $750 penalty for refusing the records without a reasonable excuse.
